WallyNDiane Posted November 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 4, 2017 We are in Rhodes from 7am to 5 pm. I would love to see Lindos and the that tour ends around noon. Is there enough time to also see the old town on our own? I don't know how far the cruise port is from the old town. Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Rare cruisemom42 Posted November 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The old town is literally steps from where the ships dock. If your tour ends around noon, you should have plenty of time to enjoy the old town which is easy to self-tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyTheSaint Posted November 4, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 4, 2017 As above, two minute walk from ship into the town. Very pretty and historical town to walk around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exactly what I did on one of my stops there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted November 6, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 6, 2017 We have done the same thing when we visited Rhodes. You will have plenty of time to do both. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyy7 Posted December 1, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 1, 2017 You’ll have a few hours (12p-4p), to explore old town and shop. The ship docks super close. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konazo Posted March 17, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Here is a video from our last visit to Rhodes that I hope helps you in planning of your day. We took a l/2 day taxi tour and there is time at the end to visit the old town more, if you want. Such an interesting place. Enjoy!

ann95665 Posted April 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 3, 2018 My DH and I are looking at this cruise. We have been to some of the ports before and if you are looking for a tour guide in Rhodes, Greece, I would highly recommend Nicholas at Rhodes Private Tours (www.RhodesPrivateTours.com). We did the Best of Rhodes, 5 hour tour. There were 12 of us on the mini-bus which was very roomy and comfortable. We had a private guide, Tsabika, who was outstanding. They picked us up right outside the ship gangway. We went to a pottery workshop to see a demonstration, then on to Lindos where those of us who wanted to walked up tothe top of the Acropolis with our guide, there were coffee shops, cafes, and shopping for those who did not want to walk up the hill. Our last stop was a tour of the old town in Rhodes which was fascinating. The Old Town is a very short walk back to the ship so we were given the option of remaining in town or being dropped off back at the ship. The price was very reasonable at 60 Euros each for the 12 of us plus the entry fee of 12 Euros for the Acropolis – we were there in November, 2017.

sansterre Posted April 28, 2018 #10 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I agree with Ann. We took a very similar tour - just 4 of us with our guide, Nick of Rhodes Private Tours. Four of us had a wonderful tour seeing the highlights of Rhodes. Along with his Mercedes, Nick was waiting for us on the pier. It was a delightful day; Nick is personable yet professional, and took us to the sites that most interested us.....at our pace. That must be why Rick Steves chooses Nick to show him Rhodes. Here is his website: www.RhodesPrivateTours.com On this website, you will see Nick pictured with Rick Steves. While you can see the old town adjacent to the port on your own, do not miss the rest of this beautiful and interesting island. LIndos is a long way from the port, but definitely amazing to see.

moviefan2010 Posted April 29, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Randomly wandering around Rhodes on your own is a great way to enjoy that small maze of a town. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
